Bolted? Do you mean flowered? Just pinch off the flowers when they do that. Herb plants can be kept year round that way, I think.
I just learned the "bolted" term earlier today when I was reading. Yes, it means growing up the center quick and about to flower. I was hoping I could just lop off the top, but they said the leaves would already be bitter. I have another one I am going to trim and use today. I think trimming reduces the bolting. Hot weather increases the risk of bolting. I have lots to learn, but the whole family is enjoying our mini farm.
